That isn't kernel auto-assembly, but it doesn't look like incremental
assembly either.

 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/mdadm

runs
  mdadm -q --assemble --scan --no-degraded
to start all the arrays that the initramfs can find.  So it is
mdadm-based auto-assembly.

Yes, I think there is still a problem. When the mpt3sas is loaded udev
should trigger the arrays to be created.

Up to you, but I have an idea.
The udev rules files depends on 'blkid' having been run.
  /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules
does this, but not for
  KERNEL=="fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md*|zram*|mmcblk[0-9]*rpmb"

... though that wouldn't apply to you.

what does
  udevadm info /dev/sdc

report?
